30–60 min: Gradual rise in blood sugar, significantly less than with high-carb alternatives.
2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the low glycemic impact of the substitutes.

“Many in the low-carb community find that replacing traditional high-carb foods with nutrient-dense, lower-carb alternatives not only helps manage blood sugar levels but also enhances overall satiety and energy levels throughout the day.”
